MUSIC HOUSE: Alaskan folksinger Marian Call played her first Massachusetts gig, a house concert Nov. 8 at the home of Steven Hammond and Maria Barrios in Holden. Call, accompanied by guitarist Scott Barkan of New York, offered the crowd of 30 an eclectic set of original music ranging from outlaw ballads and Alaskan lore to astronomy and geek pride. She played some songs from her albums “Got to Fly” and “Vanilla,” as well as new material from her upcoming release “Something Fierce,” which she planned to start recording this week in New York. Call, who has been touring two years, said she hoped to return to Massachusetts next fall. For more information, visit MarianCall.com. Michael Ballway photo
